Description:

I absolutely love journaling. I shy away from a lot of the swaps on here now because I like a variety in my journals and I find most are either diary-esque or answering a series of prompts/questions. That is totally great but I wanted to do something different.

I want to have a huge conglomeration of different type entries. I want it to be lax in the details of the entries but I am going to make a list of things I want at least one entry consisting of.

The journal used will have to be at least 60 pages, mine is 80 so around that. Try to fill it to the best of your abilities at least 60 entries though as a minimum. I also want these to be higher quality. I AM NOT asking you to go out and spent a huge amount of money there are a lot of reasonable journals out there. I just want to steer away from the composition book/school style spiral bound books. Feel free to decorate the covers as well.

Required fun things to include!
- Recipes
- Poems
- Art pages (drawing/paintings/collage what have you)
- Lists (No specific length)
1. Favorite Movies
2. Favorite Songs
3. Favorite websites
- Quotes
- Random Facts
- Inspirational images
- Inspirational words/sayings/mantra/advice/wisdom
- Home remedies I guess? (When you're sick.... or When you have an ink stain....)
- Share stuff you like! (If you like yoga print out pictures of poses, if you like fashion talk about your favorite designers, if you are interested in the enviroment share some tips on being green. )

Now you may have multiple entries for some of these, and one entry for others. And you may add anything else you're interested in, regular day-in-the-life or diary style entries. Make it creative, diverse, informational. Have a great time!

The details:
Since it is a journaling and time intensive swap you have to have a 4.9 and no recent no sends, 1s or 3s. This will be US only, unless there is significant stated interest due to the postage becoming outrageous.

Ooh I love this one! I hope you will do it again in the future because I am currently in another journal swap and don't want to be overloaded, but this one sounds excellent! Have fun, everyone :]

I won't be around here in 5 months, but this did sound like a lot of fun. :D

I signed up, but why 6 months to complete? Just curious. Also, I have a really nice journal I wanted to use, but it is spiral bound, so are you saying no spiral bound at all?

I had it at a shorter length of time but I've taken part in journal swaps in the past where trying to cram a lot of entries gets stressful and difficult so I figured the longer you have you can take your time, plan it out or what have you. I guess my philosophy is too much time is better than too little. As for spiralbound that's fine! I was just talking like the cheapy sorts.

Ok thanks. Yeah, you are right, too much time is better then not enough.

I don't think it will take me six months to fill up 60 pages. Even at a page a day, that is only two months. I think three months would be better. Some of us don't even know where we will be in six months.

All righty, so I decideddd that I would shorten the time length again. :) Please take note that you must send your journals out on the last day of July!
